FUJITEC SINGAPORE SECURES MAJOR BULK ORDER FROM HDB

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 24 (Bernama) -- Fujitec Singapore Corp Ltd has won a major bulk order for about 300 residential lifts from the Housing & Development Board of Singapore (HDB) for the 33rd Term Housing project.

The company said the HDB 33rd Term Housing project was for new homes across the public housing estates island-wide and was to be completed in the next four to five years.

“The order covers about 300 elevators, including high-speed models, to be installed in high-rise residential buildings with 30 floors or more.

“Through this project, Fujitec Singapore will contribute to the urban development of Singapore,” it said in a statement.

Fujitec Singapore said the company had delivered a cumulative total of about 20,000 units to the HDB, consisting of new installations and replacement projects, since the first order for 2,000 lifts in 1972.

The company said recently it had been actively involved in the Lift Enhancement Programme with HDB and the town councils to provide additional safety features such as double brakes on existing elevators.

Fujitec Singapore focuses on the development of services that utilise digital technology, moving forward with transformational steps toward the next 50 years.

Fujitec Singapore is the third overseas subsidiary of Japan’s Fujitec Group.
